Equality Australia is grateful for the courageous stand that Felicity Wilson has taken in supporting the NSW LGBTIQA+ Equality Bill. It's a shame that she has been forced by her party to cross the floor to support these vital reforms for LGBTQ+ equality. Thank you Felicity!

Unfortunately the ABS did not recommend testing a intersex question but we hope to continue advocacy on this so that people with innate variations of sex characteristics can be counted in the future

Huge news! The government has just announced that trans and gender diverse people will be counted in the next census, as well as a question on sexual orientation 🌈

The census must count all of us, not just some of us.

We deserve to be counted in the census. The idea that counting LGBTIQ people is divisive is deeply offensive and wrong.

Excluding LGBTIQA+ people from the census makes no sense. I’ve joined Crossbench MPs and Senators and written to the PM asking his to reverse this crazy decision. @EqualityAu

The federal government's decision to not properly count LGBTIQ+ people in the next census defies common sense. We need your help while there's still time to push back. https://t.co/ox2imkONbq

Today the Minns Gov has formally apologised to those convicted under old laws that criminalised homosexual acts between men. To mark the occasion, LGBTIQ+ orgs have made a statement reflecting on the past and looking towards the future, read it here: https://t.co/GPvLUr20PT

Aaron Kelly once lived a double life as an evangelical pastor who tried to "pray the gay away.'' After undergoing unsuccessful, harmful conversion therapies and being forced to marry, he realised he needed to live authentically.

Today’s news is a clear indication of why NSW needs to pass the Equality Bill. In 2024 this shouldn’t be happening. You can sign the petition to protect our community from discrimination: https://t.co/dgjWELyYXL

90% of @EqualityAu's community is voting Yes Anna Brown: "Australia’s First Nations people had our back during the vote on same-sex marriage. They stood by us when we needed them, and I personally won’t be letting them down now it is their lives that are on the line."
Six years after the plebiscite on marriage equality, we are again being asked to vote for basic rights for a minority of Australians who have been ignored for too long. We said Yes back in 2017. We need to say Yes again, writes @EqualityAu 's Anna Brown. https://t.co/jiHc7NtwAB

Make sure you call/text/message three friends or family members and chat to them about the referendum - there's not long to go and one on one conversations are the most powerful tool we have! #voteyes

We have the chance to end conversion practices against LGBTQA+ people in NSW once and for all. With bipartisan support to banning conversion practices, now is the time to stand together to make sure these reforms become law. @SOGICEsurvivors

"We are here, we are queer, and it is time to change the law" Independent MP Alex Greenwich has introduced his LGBTQIA+ Equality Bill into NSW Parliament this morning, which he claims will be the state's most comprehensive reform of its kind in history | #nswpol @AlexGreenwich
